Cast Announced for Bad Robot’s Supernatural Nazi Movie ‘Overlord’

There are rumors that this movie is in some way connected to the Cloverfield universe, but let’s put those aside for now and deal in facts here. The facts? Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot jointly announced today the complete cast for Overlord, being directed by Julius Avery!

Joining the previously announced Jovan Adepo and Wyatt Russell, the film will also star Jacob Anderson (“Game of Thrones”), Dominic Applewhite (The King’s Speech), Pilou Asbaek (“Game of Thrones”), Iain de Caestecker (“Marvel’s AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.”), John Magaro (The Big Short), Mathilde Ollivier (The Misfortunes of Francois Jane), and Bokeem Woodbine (“Fargo”).

In Overlord…

On the eve of D-Day, a group of American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion’s success, but as they approach their target, they begin to realize there is more going on in this Nazi-occupied village than a simple military operation. They find themselves fighting against supernatural forces, part of a Nazi experiment.

The Bad Robot production is produced by J.J. Abrams and Lindsey Weber, and written by Billy Ray (Captain Phillips) and Mark L. Smith (The Revenant).
